    Steroids and antibiotics.

    Thanks wasn't sure how long the prednisilone would take to get out of my system that was the major worry as not happy about bg being higher than 8 now. As for the antibiotic will need to see how that goes when I start taking the kefir.

    My doctor was angry with me...

    I can now eat any carbs as long as they are not greater than about 60 grams. I do tend to stay away from refined carbs although I do stray sometimes but as long as I dont take an excessive amount it wont raise my BG too much. Made a mistake a few months ago eating Irwins Irish Batch bread and...

Sorted my DM out in the past year going the Resistant Starch route and that has improved my IR and can...

    Meter Problem HELP...dodgy meter(s) ? ?

    Yeah thats the one so your contour is the correct reading. I have another type of meter coming tomorrow as I've lost faith in the codefree. Would use the contour next one that I have but the cost of strips is on the expensive side.

As the diet I follow is high in RS at around 30 grams or more they no longer spike me very much. But this could be a different story for others on a...
